fastmcp-boilerplate

A boilerplate project for building MCP servers using FastMCP, a TypeScript framework for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

Prerequisites

This project uses Bun, a fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime, package manager, and bundler. You can install it following the official documentation.

Getting Started

To install dependencies:

bun install

To run the project:

bun run index.ts

To run tests:

bun test

Another way to run the server is to use the official MCP Inspector to inspect your server with a Web UI:

bun run inspect

Project Structure

- src/index.ts: Main entry point for the MCP server
- src/add.ts: Example module with an add function
- src/add.test.ts: Example test for the add function
